Technique House

Location: The Dutch Quarter, Colchester, Essex

Date: 1999

A former flat-roofed 1950's printing works, shoe-horned into one
of the oldest parts of Colchester and completely surrounded by
Listed Buildings, this ugly structure was nothing if not a
challenge. A new addition at the front of the building was
constructed to look like the surrounding jetted historic houses,
whilst the main factory was restored with new Crittall Windows, a
contemporary porch and decked gardens. In total seven loft-style
apartments were created.
